Mice inoculated intraperitoneally with blood from a pony experimentally infected with the Potomac horse fever agent and mice inoculated with a culture of Ehrlichia sennetsu were killed when moribund. A rickettsial organism was demonstrated in spleen mononuclear cells of both groups. Wild rodents might serve as a reservoir of the agent.
